Joe, My Favorite Hungarian - We booked this tour last minute and were so glad that we did because we honestly feel it was the best thing we did in Budapest. The people in Budapest were not kind but Joe was! His customer service was amazing, the stories he told were captivating, he’s a great actor, and he had us laughing. He showed us the way to the bus stop after and honestly if I had known it would have been so good I would have taken all the tours he was a lead on. Joe if you’re seeing this review, you made our stay in Budapest so much better.

Interesting - Very enthusiastic and good guide, who could tell us bloodthirsty details from Hungarian history. It was told with vivacity and rich detail, in a humorous way. Dress well in November, it's cold.

Moonlight Castles Bats Dracula 🧛‍♂️ - The setting was atmospheric in the Castle district by moonlight with bats flying around. Joe told us some very gruesome historical facts which were fascinating. Given the blood thirsty topic Joe made it easy to listen to and understand, he was very entertaining as a guide. I learned a lot about Hungarian History. I saw other tours en route and ours looked more fun. Very reasonable too.

Highly recommended! - We did this tour with Karen, a very nice Guide and good at explaining. His stories were very understandable in excellent English and with a touch of theatricality that does not hurt. Buda and the view of the city of Pest in the evening are lovely. Highly recommended tour also for the price, lasting almost two hours.

Karyn - We went on this tour at the beginning of Dec 2023. It was so much fun! Our guide Karyn was super friendly, fun and helpful. We got to learn a bunch of horror stories that took place and/ or are related to Hungary and Hungarian personalities. It was a fantastic experience and we definitely recommend it! If you're interested in terror, vampires and serial killers, it's a must do! The tour kept us entertained, but was also informative. I particularly loved the true story behind the legend of Dracula! 10/10

Good leadership - Unfortunately, because of the warm weather, the lady did not wear historical clothing as described. Nevertheless, the tour was fun. She spoke good English and responded to the guests. Exciting stories and well-chosen route. She also gave us tips for Budapest at the end.
